The thread was directed at Solo/Group players. It's pretty pointless inviting Open players to play Open. The real question is why are Open players trolling this thread?

In 200+ hours I have seen one instance of hacking? Must be rampant. I wonder how often it happens in solo?
It does get a bit annoying for those honest players like myself who also enjoy playing with other players, especially the way some PVE/Solo members put their arguments across.
I do wonder how many players who are very anti Open Mode have actually had constant bad experiences as opposed to reading about other here..
My whole point in the whole open v solo v PVE saga is you have options i.e. big galaxy, wing for protection etc plus I feel the "bad stuff" is totally overblown..
I like to play solo for the reason you state above. If I am grinding credits I know solo in a RES zone = me getting maximum profit.. Some times you also like to be by your self..

lol, I knew it wouldn't take too long for the anti Open fan boys to get here... Scared somebody may go back to the dark side?
Now tell us why Open is bad again to refresh our memories?
1) I'm not anti-Open, I'm anti-segregation of Modes.
2) I was invited here by the OP, why are you here? This thread is aimed at Solo/Group players, not Open players.
3) I have not the slightest idea what "Scared somebody may go back to the dark side?" is supposed to mean or refer to.
4) I've never said Open is bad.
Hi All,
I play in open, currently away in the middle of nowhere, only a few friends around. I use solo for landing Asp on outposts, so that I do not tie up the landing bay, and to check out pending states in the system, as you have to keep going back to the menu for the truth. I mught just as well play in a group, as there are 3 or 4 of us around here that often fly together in a wing. Open just makes it easier to organise.
I have not come across a psycho since week 2, when everyone is a bit trigger happy with their new game.
Piracy, well pretty much have to play in open - NPCs carry rubbish! I consider it valid game-play, but broken.
Miners, nly 700CR at mining cannot comment on more or less fun in Open.
Traders, why the hell would a trader be in open, in a trade ship? The Interaction with pirates needs tweaking. I cannot see a win situation for traders being in the open (I have been hi-lighting this since beta). A 1.7MCr Type-6 is effective in solo, does about 96 tons. To use a Type 6 in Open and have a chance (varies by pirate) of being able to run from a pirate is about 5.5MCr, and less cargo space. What is in it for the Trader to be in open? The thrill of being threatened, if you do not comply quicly like a robot (might as well by an NPC), your crippled, try to run they kill you. This from the pirates in other threads, something about their reputation or something. To counter pirates own description of themselves, I had many great interactions with pirates and CSG in Khaka doing the weapons run. Not all ended in violence!
Cheating however, well this is why I am in the middle of nowhere in open. The "Wing shield restore expoit". This has been used every time I have got involved in a wing based PvP. Leaves a nasty taste in the mouth regardless of outcome, and I am avoiding the obvious PvP areas until 1.3 comes out, with hopefully a fix.

Why should solo/group players be afraid of someone going to Open ? By definition, they want to limit their interaction with other people or play in a group of like-minded people that probably never went or left Open.
Or the only arguments you have are insults ?

On this subject, my post from another, erm, similar thread:

I like hearing comments from people who have either tried or continue to dip into all 3 game modes, as that's exactly what I like to do. Heck, even Mobius himself plays in Open as well, sometimes! Why limit yourself? We all have the 3 game modes we can dip into whenever we like. So, yes, I have played many hours in Open and will continue to do so, especially when I feel like adding in a sense of unpredictability to proceedings. However, my preferred gaming mode, most of the time, is the private PvE group, Mobius - more consistently pleasant CMDRs, less unnecessary frustration and even PvP in CZs. In other words, FUN! But, yeah, adding an extra bit of unpredictability / danger in Open on occasions can also be a rush and fun too.
